1. If you wish to follow the Prophet's path sincerely,
Free from any purpose turning you away from it,
١. إن رُمتَ نَهجَ المُصطفي خَالِياً
مِن غَرَضٍ عن نَهجِهِ صَارِفِ
2. Be oblivious to the fleeting fancies of the frivolous,
Under the shade of a blissful, flourishing garden.
٢. مِن مُشتَهى الخَارِفِ كُن غَارِفاً
في ظِلِّ رَوضٍ يَانِعِ وَارِفِ
3. The discerning, fair-minded knower of truth
Has no craving for the frivolous man's fleeting fancies.
٣. في مُشتَهَى الخَارِفِ مَا تَشتَهِى
نَفسُ اللَّبِيبِ المُنصِفِ العَارِفِ
